Real Baby Shower: Vintage French Circus

Thursday, July 24, 2014

You know you're in for a treat when you receive a baby shower submission from Sophie Parrot and Ashley O'Bryan of The Marvelous Vintage Tea Party Co. Their Vintage French Circus party is simple and classically beautiful. Smitten with the color palette of pale pastels along with all the tiny details captured by Misty Sims Photography making this baby shower styled to perfection. I L.O.V.E. the mommy-to-be in the final photo, as seen below -- You can feel the joy that was shared at this special event.

From Ashley... Baby Hal's shower was not your everyday "cake n' punch" event or a stodgy afternoon tea. Instead, this "grown-up partea" included lots of bubbly {champagne for the guests + sparkling cider for the mummy-to-be}, a tea-quila station and more fun than a Sunday afternoon can handle! We tailored all the decor around the client's chosen theme of "Vintage French Circus," creating a fanciful & playful environment filled with special touches & joyous moments including the hand-made matchstick boxes & paper caps {which were a big hit with the fellas}, vintage children's books, toys and flashcards and even an antique Corona typewriter with a personalized message to "King Hal." {Our mummy-to-be's favorite game was the wooden chicken pecking paddle & ball.} The menu included an artisan fruit & cheese display, bite-sized tea sandwiches, French macarons, tri-berry and rose vanilla petit fours. Guests sipped their beverages of choice from vintage highball glasses, tea cups & champagne coups and listened to French music played on an authentic phonograph or relaxed in the sunshine on the outdoor "king's throne" lounge.
